Not sure what to say?

I was friends with Kenny at EHS class of 71, we used to talk a lot at school. I had been trying to find him the past few weeks to tell him about our 40 yr reunion but I didn't realize that he had moved back to Eureka...wish so much that I could have made contact with him...He was such a kind person & always friendly. Several of his classmates have sent condolences on facebook...We from the class of 71 will remember him at our reunion next year...I am so sad that he is gone & I will miss him...

So Sorry to hear about Ken. I know he'll be missed by so many. My love and blessings go out to the whole family.

I worked with Ken several years ago on the waterfront project for HSU. He was always going out of his way to help others. My favorite memory of him was one Monday morning after bow season started he got to work right before our scheduled shift and hadn't unpacked from that weekends hunt. Yep, a beautiful buck was still laying in the bed, covered up, but proudly displayed for his co-workers to marvel upon. God rest your soul Ken. May the bucks and fish still fear you as you enjoy your time...

I am so sorry for your loss. I was shocked to hear the news. I really liked Kenny. I hope he and his Dad can go fishing up in heaven and hang out together. My deepest sympathy.

So sorry to hear of your loss
May God be close to each of You..

So very sorry to hear of your loss....

POEM for Comfort -
When we lose someone we love
The loss seems too great to bear
God sends us friends to comfort us
To show that He deeply cares

But in the dark hours of the night
When there’s nobody else around
When we feel the saddest and loneliest
It’s there God’s love can be found.

MAY YOUR FAMILY FEEL THE LOVE OF FRIENDS and JESUS.

Ken worked with us at the St. Joseph job site. I used to love hearing talk about his hunting and fishing adventures. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. He was such a genuinely nice guy. My prayers go out to your family.

KENNY WAS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON ADN WILL BE MISSED BY ALL THAT KNEW HIM. JULIE M
